This has been popping up quite a bit but as far as I can tell, neither the original thought piece nor (therefore) the critiques are particularly above-the-bar?

- bdangubic 9mo agointeresting how little discussion “something big is happening” got considering it surpassed 100 million views …
- dang 9mo agoIIRC, it got flagged by users. That might have been a good thing in this case. HN gets tons of thought-piece submissions about AI so we try to keep the bar relatively high (notice that word 'relatively'. I'm not saying it's all that high!) If discussion here is somewhat uncorrelated with discussion on the rest of the internet, that's good, at least for this kind of content.
